OT: Baseball Card Investment Tip
 
Here's a tip for Net54 members only. Purchase your Jayce Blalock cards now. He is only 13 years old and still in the Little League.

But check out this video:

The kid ate his Wheaties.

13 years old and almost 180 lbs? What does this kid eat? :eek:

And btw, he doesn't have any cards now. By the time companies start printing them, everyone will be waiting to get their hands on one.

For some odd reason I think a 180 pound 13 year old is going to have some health problems down the line. As in fairly quickly.

By 15 he will have refractors in 10 different colors, a Walmart version, and the way things are going an Amazon version, not to mention 3 different autograph cards with multiple variations of each.

That's OK, I lost my shirt on Danny Almonte! :rolleyes:

Darn impressive though.

That is not unordinary nor is the kid a freak. Lots of kids, past and present, have been much taller and weighed even more.
I have seen kids who played on my son's hockey team and kids he has played against taller and bigger than the boy in question.

They are somewhat rare, or against the norm, but they certainly are around.

This is the LLWS we're talking about. His birth certificate is altered. He's really 22.

doesn't "unordinary" equal "somewhat rare, or against the norm"?

No, I think he's from Georgia, but I'm thinking he'll also be playing for the Jackie Robinson West team from Chicago this year. ;)

PEDs in his Froot Loops maybe ?

conor912 08-22-2017 04:32 PM

He just put one out of SunTrust Park.

Offer will be flying in now, if they already weren't?

conor912 08-22-2017 06:25 PM

I'm calling it now. 2031, ESPN 30 for 30: Tree boy and the star that almost was.

vintagerookies51 08-22-2017 06:53 PM

I recall a 6'8 250 pound kid on the Saudi Arabian team about a decade back

jburl 08-22-2017 08:20 PM

When I taught middle school iin Nashville, I had a couple of students in the 6'3" and 200+ camp. They got snapped up on private school scholarships for high school.
